New Delhi: Delhi High Court today granted anticipatory bail to the parents of Mayank Singhvi who has been accused of abetting the suicide of his wife, airhostess Anissia Batra. Parents of the deceased had alleged that Mayank's parents Sushma and RS Singhvi have a rapport with two retired judges of the Supreme Court which can enable them to court a favourable investigation into the case. However, no such allegations have been proven as of yet.

Singhvis cannot be arrested until anticipatory bail plea applications are heard on August 2, said a bench of the Delhi High Court. Anissia's husband Mayank was arrested from his Panchsheel Park residence on July 13 following the death of his wife. Reports have asserted that he was interrogated by Hauz Khas police for an hour before being arrested under Section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that corresponds to death caused due to dowry.

Anissia had allegedly jumped to her death from her husband’s home on July 13. Her parents had accused the Singhvis of harassing her which may have driven her to take the extreme step. In fact, her parents even made a representation to the President of India where they highlighted loopholes that they believe would come in the way of a fair investigation into the death of their daughter.

WhatsApp messages sent by the deceased to one of her close friends barely hours before her death had hinted that she was engaged in a heated argument with her husband on the day of her death. Anissia had sent a text message to her husband Mayank telling him that she was about to end her life. However, parents of the victim suspect foul play and claim that it could have been her husband who must have sent all of the text messages to avoid being caught. A police investigation into the death of the 39-year-old airhostess is still underway.
